Kevin De Bruyne, the midfielder for Manchester City, is reflecting on his international future after Belgium’s exit from the European Championship. Despite captaining Belgium in their last-16 loss to France, De Bruyne could potentially have played in his final tournament for his country. He has recently reached his 100th international cap and made his debut for Belgium 14 years ago.
De Bruyne played a crucial role in Manchester City’s fourth consecutive Premier League title this past season, registering 24 direct goal involvements in 26 matches. Although he is out of contract at the Etihad Stadium in 2025, there have been rumors of a potential move to Saudi Arabia this summer. However, De Bruyne has committed his short-term future to Manchester City while contemplating his international career after Belgium’s Euro 2020 exit.
Looking ahead, De Bruyne is considering his future availability for Belgium, acknowledging that he doesn’t have many years left as a professional footballer. He will take some time to rest and make a decision after the summer. The upcoming 2024/25 campaign will mark De Bruyne’s 10th season with Manchester City, involving various competitions including the expanded UEFA Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup.
